RMaps: Separate SQL files by map service #394

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Hello

Operating system: Windows XP SP3
Gmapcatcher version: 0.8.0.5

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Presently, when using the option to download the maps using RMaps, it is 
necessary to be careful to use a different folder per map service.
On each folder, the map files go to the file tile-Map.sqlitedb and the 
satellite photos to  the file tile-Satellite.sqlitedb.
Once a folder has been selected in the settings, if Gmpacatcher is online, the 
new maps or satellite photos will update the files of this folder, even if the 
map provider is not the initial one.
Therefore, if the user is not careful, the SQL files will contain a mixture of 
tiles coming from different map providers.

Example:
Initial downloads were done one with Virtual Earth maps. The maps cover a 
certain area with certain zoom levels.
A few days later the user opens GMapcatcher. He doesn't change the settings. 
But he selects Openstreet map provider and visualizes while on line an area and 
zoom levels not existing previously.
The SQL file, initially containing VirtualEarth maps, is updated with the 
Openstreet maps.
When viewing the map offline, the map is a mixture of two providers (see 
attached file).

Desired solution:
To have the same behavior when using RMaps than for Files.
When the option "use a different folder per map service" is selected in the 
"Change theme" tab of the "GMapCatcher tools" window, a subfolder with the name 
of the map provider is automatically created in the folder selected for RMaps 
when the user uses the map provider for the first time. This subfolder will 
contain the files corresponding to the map provider, and will be used whenever 
the user selects the corresponding map provider.

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

Avoid to have a mixture of map providers in a same SQL file, when this mixture 
is not desired.

Thanks and best regards
